14. VI. 1918

Comrade Zinoviev!

All efforts must be applied to dispatch hundreds of agitators from Petrograd to the countryside at once. This is of paramount importance before the Congress of Soviets,118 and the entire military and food situation makes this even more urgent. Money will be found — do not spare it. We (along with Tsiurupa) discussed this in detail with Svidersky. We must press forward.

Greetings! Lenin
